I plugged it into two different windows XP computers with the USB cord, but nothing shows up on my computer. I get some weird error on my phone, something like "PC connection unavailable ... blah blah blah ... idle screen ... blah blah ... close applications." I think this might be because I'm using LauncherPro. Why can't I just get a simple vanilla android build?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
there are custom usb drivers, look for them in the how to root thread in android development subforum. After you dl them extract them somewhere and open up device mgr. U should see a usb device with a ? over it. Rightclick it and select update or install. Tell it that you want to select the location of the drivers and point it to where you extracted the drivers. You'll want to use the x86 ones if you have an intel 32bit winxp and the amd64 if u have an amd processor running windows xp.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
OK.

Bring up your Settings pane and select Applications. In the Applications screen, select USB Settings and select Mass Storage. Now, when you connect the handset to your computer, pull down your notification bar and select USB Connected, it will bring up a prompt about mounting the volumes - press Mount. In the future you will just need to plug it in and mount the drives from the pull down menu.

You should be good to go. If not, try installing the Captivate drivers.

Also several people have had issues with plugging the Captivate into the front USB ports on their computers, and switching to a rear USB port fixed it - so give that try if you are still having issues.
[Captivate General] lebe0024:
Thanks! That was the ticket! Wow, am I relieved. Also, for any other newbies out there, it seems like you can just throw files at the drive and android will find them. I put mine under "SD", but I have a hunch you can just put them anywhere.

Also, I refuse to install any drivers for this phone, which is why I just used it like a generic usb drive. I honestly loved my iphone, but I hated that you had to use itunes with it. If I have to install anything on my computer to use my phone, android just lost an advantage to the iphone in my eyes.
[Captivate General] PhonePhun:
I had this same problem and there is no way I could it plug into the back so I tried the USB plugs on my monitor and thankfully that worked. I don't know why this phone was made so difficult to connect to the computer and have it recognized as storage.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Yeah, I installed them trying to figure the damn thing about but I suspect they may only be needed if you want to tether via USB - not sure though.

Weird, isn't it? It's inconvenient to have the cable in the rear, but it was the only way I could get everything to play nice. I'll have to pick up some spare cables for the charger, work, etc so I don't have to reach back there and pull it out when I need it elsewhere. Not a bad idea anyway.

Hey I'm thinking about getting the htc dream but I'm wondering if you canroot the dream that has the update. Thanks
[G1 General] Sleeepy2:
The only way to do this is with Jtag.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
The short answer is yes.

The long answer is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5934885

And it also helps to read and understand ALL of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591048

I know that's a lot of information, but if you intend on getting one of these phones with the intention of rooting it, you need to know ALL of it.

*****HOWEVER*****

IF you do live in CANADA and that is the reason you are looking at a robbers dream, I would STRONGLY suggest that you AVOID the unit. An ADP1 or tmobile branded DREAM is a FAR better choice since it is ALSO compatible with the new WCDMA carriers (wind mobile, moblicity, and videotron) ***IN ADDITION TO*** being compatible with robbers. They are also MUCH easier to root, and in the case of ADP1, they shipped from factory with root access.

Is it possible to combine the speed of wifi and the speed of my mobile data connection?

I feel like this would be possible with software
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] courtlandre:
That would be pretty sick, but feel like someone will step in and say no.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deanwray:
Not being a linux expert, but I have done load balancing and merging between two data points (wifi and LAN) a while ago I think. So with a fair amount of work and porting I would think it is possible if the hardware has the ability to have simultaneous connections active and in use.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danifamous:
Recently, I upgraded from DeFrost 2.2 to 2.3, then back over to MCR r5 with Sense and A2SD+.

After that, none of my files like to be saved to SD card. I keep getting "installation failed" on everything I try install. I also use the "ModInstallLocation" app by "Mylifeisandroid" from the market to force install to SD.

But after changing back, I've had issues. I've tried reformatting the SD card via rom manager and GParted LiveCD. But nothing. I reverted back to Defrost and still, I have an issue installing to SDCard.

I've made a partition of FAT32 - 14GB, EXT3 - 512mb, Swap - 128MB

The 1st two items i download are always LauncherPro Beta and beautiful widgets. Launcher Pro can be installed on either (can also move it via System-Applications which i guess is Froyo A2SD)

So basically, why can i not force install to SDCard? I can't move any programs after installation to phone... any ideas?

And whats the largest Ext3 partition i can get away with before my desire refuses to acknowledge it or issues occur?

I flashed the last radio on my hero, now my touch screen is accting very weird.

Sometimes the lower part dont work, sometimes i touch on he upper screen and it active the lower part.

Anyone can help me?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cpt-sir:
I've got the same problem. It's caused by holding the phone in jeans pocket. I've read around somewhere on this forum that problem is hardware related and the only solution is the substitution of the "Digitizer". In few words => send it to htc for repair in warranty
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T_Reis:
Thanks for the answer.

I return the phone to the store, and get an iphone, i needed really a phone, and cant send it to repair and wait.

i recently downloaded the co-pilot app and it works fine except for the live friends portion. worked with alk and they referred me to t-mobile and t-mobile referred me to windows live.

the instructions says to add an account at live.alk.com which i did and when i tried to login on the phone app it fails - invalid login or password. i can log into the system on my laptop.

alk said my email address was to long, changed it and i'm still having the same issue. i'm not sure if i can use this feature in hawaii, the alk representative couldn't answer that.

is anyone having this same issue?

manually open each sound to get them

to register in menus

reset your ringtones and notifications

at last i have found the G3B0 and G3B1 thumb keyboard driver.

i managed to extract it from a EXTrom some where on xdadev.

i have been trying to find it for some time after getting a thumb keyboard but no driver anyway here it is for anyone else who might need.

it is uk\us ver 2.01 build 0626
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] flyboyovyick:
why do you need a driver?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:
Maybe to get additional hardware running!?!

That's the reason to install drivers in most of the cases.

Here are the drivers for the keyboard shown in my avatar.

(It's only less than an inch smaller than that of my laptop, working well on all WM ever tested. It' cool to open it pull both sides of the keyboard sideways, and all of a sudden the middle keys lift from underneath the other :D)

[XPERIA X10 General] calexus1182:
So im looking on buying a x10 but im what you´ll call a technology challenged person..........so yeah questions:

Is the bootloader unlocked?(i have the htcHERO presently so custom roms are nice)

How bad is lack of multi-touch?

How is the screen´s responsiveness?

It probably will be harder to port other phone roms since this is manefactured by S.E.(assuming the bootloader is unlocked of course.)

i need a new phone so my options are (spain)

htcLEGEND but its not much different from the HERO so i really dont want it, the SamsungWave but i would chose android over bada if given the chance(would it be possible to port android to it seeing how the GalaxyS is so similar?) or the x10.

Also, no i cant buy the NexusOne from vodafone

Salutations.
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
Using the Xperia X10 as a phone, well its good besides the low headset volume. Other wise it is a good device. With the latest updates you'll get good battery life and performance. Emails, messaging, web surfing, media its all good. Listening to calls is kinda of an issue, well for me.

Multi touch is a concern if you LOVE pinch and zoom and if youll be doing serious gaming. Other wise it is not an issue. Get JustPictures it has one pinch zoom with is more practical.

Screen is good, but now its only at 65k, 16 millions is on the way.

Finally to be honest Iam not sure about the bootloader. Some say its hacked others say its not, but theres some cyanogen mod thread in the developments part of the forum. So something is coming up for sure.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
1. Nope, not yet.

2. Bad if you play games, doesn't matter if you don't.

3. Good

4. When bootloader will be unlocked it will have custom ROMs. Maybe not from other phones but will have.
[XPERIA X10 General] calexus1182:
Thanks for the reply/s but what about the Samsungwave? I tried it today and the screen is amazing and the BadaOs seemed like a custom skin of Android ala SENSE, of course it dosent have android apps nor customization but I love the phone's specs if you could put android there it would be the greatest phone in terms of software/hardware/price but I'm sure this has been said.(I can't buy the galaxyS cuz its on Movistar these guys are real pricks)
[XPERIA X10 General] calexus1182:
Im really desperate right now gotta buy it in like 2 days max. What should i do?

The x10 has the bigger screen and android the wave tops it in everything but has the BADAos which besides having a retarded name is ugly.I dont know which to pick if i could put android in the wave i would buy it but its not clear if android can be ported to it.

Please help this post has over 200 viewers but only 2 comments.
[XPERIA X10 General] HyperionX10:
You want the best phone today? Then choose Samsung Galaxy S...

The design matters to you? Then take the X10 :)

Samsung Wave it's a no for me.. The screen is too small and there are not too many third-party apps available (for sure not as many as we have for Android).
[XPERIA X10 General] calexus1182:
i need one with a contract that isnt from movistar(i think its the equivalent to o2 in the uk) those bastards have the galaxy since july 1st, its the same thing they did with the iphone only they had it for like 2 years cuz there service sucks they need to buy exclusive rights so only they can sale it
[XPERIA X10 General] karthigan:
Regarding Colour...

Hey!

Since X10 has 65K colours, after we get the 2.1/2.2 upgrade, the phone will have 16M colours?

So, just to confirm, the hardware (display screen) is capable to get 16M colours?

Right now, due to 1.6 OS, the OS limits the colours to 65K?
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
If you know what a bootloader is you are not technologically challenged :p.

I haven't played with a wave but considering your options i would go with the x10. Android is proven, it looks beautiful and custom roms are on the way. The only downside is no mt right now (if you play games).
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
You'll never get android on the Wave.. so go for the X10.. it really is a great bit of kit.

also is there something preventing porting android to the Wave?(aside from hardwork)

The lack of multi-touch is insane. What on earth were SE thinking. I need to have as many fingers on my phone as possible at any given moment. In fact I prefer to dial numbers by hitting every number at exactly the same time, and just hoping they end up in the right order.

no but seriously, there was a time before multi-touch, just like there was a time before touchscreens.

Personally my biggest gripe with the x10 is that it wasn't made by Apple, but thankfully I have the x10i, which still have the 'i' in it, so I can sleep at night... ;)

I'm trying to update my phone's software to the new Android 2.1 for Sprint. Sprints website tells me to go to Settings > About Phone > System updates > HTC Software Update. I follow through this process, however when I get into Software Update I do not have the option for HTC Software Update. I've tried running the firmware updater and it says no new firmware. Anyone know how to get this option to appear?

If it helps I'm running the Stock 1.56 rom and have it rooted.

My software version is 1.56.651.2.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] bernard_photography:
You will have to download the Official RUU from HTC or and Sprint and run it on a PC connected to the phone. The 2.1 update is not an OTA update. This will unroot your phone, to keep root, there are versions in the Development section that keep root intact.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
The 2.1 update was not available OTA, you have to download the RUU which is kind of a PITA but I would prefer it that way. Then they can't force the update on you.

go over to the dev threads, find the one about root 2.1

The second post has the correct RUU downloads to be able to get 2.1 and root.

There has been an update released OTA since 2.1 was released - to attempt to patch our root exploit. Make sure you do the bottom part of the root method about disabling your ota certs.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.L.C.:
When my phone is asleep (on the seat of my car), if I push the call button on my bluetooth headset, I get beeps and hear the prompt to speak the name - but nothing happens after that.

If I then wake my phone (with trackball or powerbutton), the phone immediately dials the number and makes the call.

I am using trackball wake on a custon FRF91 ROM. This seems to happen with a couple different ROMs I've tried.

Anyone else seeing this? Does this happen with stock? Any workarounds?

It would be more "handsfree" if I didn't have to grab the phone and wake it first.

[Android Apps and Games] Elemetrix:
Thanks, will give this a shot as MyEpisodes Viewer no longer works.

Don't know if this is possible and it might be a bit cheeky.. but would it be possible to import the database from MyEpisodes? ;-) I've spent quite some time going through all of the shows i've watched on there, it would be good if I could skip doing it again!

Edit:

Suggestions-

*Couple of Serie/series typos?

*I would prefer it if the specials were not included in the 'Episodes not watched' calculation. Many of them are silly little clips which don't even air everywhere in the world. Also it includes them in the number of Seasons, which gives the incorrect number for most shows.

*Some form of simple backup/online sync is a MUST

*Shows without a thumbnail appear to be selecting thumbnails from other shows at random

*Following on from that, an option to manually add a thumbnail?

The layout with thumbnails look superb and it all moves very fast :)

I really like this I think it will help me keep track of all the shows I like to watch and make sure I dont forget about them while waiting for the next season to start. I agree with the typo fixes and possibly an option to remove specials. Something not mentioned though which is not a big deal but would be real nice, add an option to select all episodes as watched in a season to speed things up a bit.
